Minnow Arts Presents: Home is a Verb, new works by Fernanda Martinez

Fernanda’s work explores nature and the city as interdependent systems, constantly shaping and adapting to one another. As her practice continues to evolve, one idea keeps emerging: the desire to connect people and places by representing familiar spaces, their surroundings, and the human relationships that exist within them. For Home is a verb, she created a new body of work that is centered on experimentation using various found and recycled materials. These reused materials carry traces of use, time, and adaptation, echoing the ways natural systems persist and evolve within urban environments. Through an intuitive process, materials are combined, layered, and reconfigured, allowing forms to emerge through response rather than predetermined outcomes. The ideas of place, belonging, and the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit play an active role in shaping this work. By inviting personal connections to familiar environments, she hopes viewers become part of this exchange, encountering the works as evolving forms that encourage reflection, conversation, and a renewed sense of connection to the places they call their own.
